The Audi S8 plus is a vehicle that is claimed to be the "highest powered sports sedan in the premium segment". With the ability to pump out as much as 605 horsepower and hit a blistering top speed of up to 305 km/h, these claims are not off the mark.
The vehicle is powered by a 4.0 turbo fuel stratified injection engine that is capable of producing a maximum torque of 516.3 pounds-feet in overboost mode. The vehicle is capable of accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in a highly impressive 3.8 seconds.
With an eight-speed tiptronic gearbox, adaptive air suspension and the the ability to adjust to current road conditions, the Audi S8 plus truly is a complete sports sedan.
